dolgiano's dahlias 



Dahlia tubers should not be planted until all frost danger is past. Set them in beds or borders in full sun. Rich soil containing plenty of 

 humus will give best results. Dig a hole 5 inches deep and lay the tuber flat in the bottom. Cover with 2 or 3 inches of soil and fill in gradually 

 as the plant grows. Good drainage is essential. Cultivate, water and feed regularly.
